JACKSON, Miss. Sept. "A. Is!

Hon. J. z. George-Dear Sir: At your
request, have made diligent and thorough
search through the archives of the office of
Secretary of State, for the statement of the
Seminary Fund" made out by G. A.
Brougher, Esq, in 1880, for joint COM
mittee of the two Houses of the Legisla-
ture, and have failed to find the same. My
search included all the papers pertaining
both to the Senate and House, of the SEES
sion of 1880, including then elm, those of the
Committee on Ways and Means" of the
House. l have also searched through the
journal of each House of said session. In
short, l have searched everywhere that /
could think or imagine such paper might
be. Very truly, your friend,
d. p. PORTER.

Curing Hog Bristles.

The portion Of Chicago which lies around
the big packing houses has never been par
ticularly noted for its balmy and refreshing
odors. Probably it never viii be, but at
least one source Of impure air is about to
be abolished The immense hog bristle cur
ing fields, which for many years have been
covered with thick layers Of white and fra
grant hair, will not exist after this season s
contracts have expired. A local physician
has invented a machine which will cure the
hair within doors in four hours. At present
it takes four months exposure TO the air TO
DO the work The packers have combined
and bought the Doctors patent. Hereafter
they will cure the hair from the hogs they
slaughter themselves. At present the hair
is bought by a middleman. He has his
men in the slaughter house, and the moment
the porker comes out Of his scalding beth
they are at him with nippers, picking out
the big, thick bristles, which are packed
separately. Then a shaving machine is run
over the carcass and in half a minute the
hog is as clean as an egg The hair is
spread out on the 100 acre field, turned and
returned like hay, and when it ceases to be
odorous, is shipped in barrels to the brush
makers in New York-New York Mail and

that occurred Saturday night and of matters
leading to it. am selling the White sew

to every other in this OF any other market,
that the agents for other machines have n
chronic feeling Of resentment for me. ] am
striving to make an honest living in an hon
Orable way, and am glad to say that have
been very successful. have sold dozens of
machines where other agents were try
ing to or had tried and failed. Unable
to beat me fairly and honOrablv, these
underhanded and little minded fellows have
adopted the method of attempting to do so
by blackgnardism and lying and dragging
up my domestic relations of years back.
Think Of it. Calling me vile names and
seeking to give my lady customers the im-
preston that | am unfit to enter their
houses. 1t was particularly exaggerated

me to read the riot act u Garfield. the Do
mestic man, Saturday night. tell this
gentleman and Others in the sewing ma
chine business that their calumny will not be
effective and they might as well give it up.

pose to stay right here in Springfield.
